Xichun is a Buddhist practitioner [Red Chamber]

Chapter 170 Meeting True and False Gems

When Concubine Zhen came out of her study room, she almost lost her footing.The emperor knew everything, but he never made a move.Knowing everything, Concubine Zhen felt sad, she was not bad to the emperor before, she still had a little affection, she thought she could do something, but she didn't expect to become like this.

As long as the Zhen family is alive, Concubine Zhen doesn't dare to ask too much, things have reached this point, it's good that the emperor didn't let the Zhen family die.

She'd better go back and pack up her things and prepare to go to the royal temple.She can't take care of so many things anymore, so she hopes that the people of Zhen's family can understand this, and know that their relationship with the royal family is gone. .

Concubine Zhen's health was not very good. After this incident, her health became even worse.

The queen learned that Concubine Zhen was going to pack up her things and move to the royal temple, so she didn't say much. At most, she arranged for someone to escort Concubine Zhen and see what Concubine Zhen needed.The concubine's status is really not that high. If something happens, no one will take care of the concubine.

Those concubines in the harem, except for sons who became emperors and queen mothers, if they were concubines, they could only be quails. How could they be as arrogant as when they were emperor's concubines?Is it possible for the emperor to treat the former emperor's concubines well?

It is unlikely to be placed in an ordinary family, let alone a palace.

Those concubines who have children are okay, at least they have children to accompany them.It is best to have sons, and tell the emperor to live with their sons at that time, if their sons do not think about rebellion, they will be able to leave the palace and spend their old age in peace.

As for Concubine Zhen, she stretched out her arms and wanted to arrange people to be with the emperor, which was understandable.But it was their fault that the Zhen family didn't restrain themselves.If you shrink back and be a human being, you can still enjoy the glory and wealth. After all, you get too much and you are greedy.

The noble concubine came to the Queen's Palace not to talk about Concubine Zhen's affairs, but to think about the external development of the Women's Department.The female department's external development cannot rely solely on these women in the capital. Strong dragons can't overwhelm local snakes, and even if they go to other places, they can't do well.

So for this kind of thing, you have to find reliable local women. As long as those women dare to do it, they can also be appointed as officials like men.

Because the female officials are not managing as many things as the male officials, and the interests involved are not so many, they can properly give some benefits to the women of the male officials.But this has to go through investigation, instead of just saying whoever people say, it has to be scientifically tested and depends on character.

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult this year. I have come up with a charter and let the emperor have a look at it first." The queen said, "This man can be reliable, and so can women. We have to go up step by step. If you are admitted to Juren, you can also go first. Serve as a local official."

Under such circumstances, the women of those officials still have an advantage, because they have read some books to some extent, unlike ordinary people's homes, at most the men in the family have read books.

If you can't eat a fat man in one bite, you still have to take your time.

The queen was worried that going too fast would cause internal collapse. The most important issue now was the internal issues of the women's department. First of all, the female officials had to be aware of some problems before they could do things better.The local women's officials also had to keep up. The queen couldn't make a decision by herself. This kind of matter involved a lot, and it had to be approved by the emperor. With the emperor's imperial decree, those people dared not say more.

The queen's decree is not as useful as the emperor's decree. In the eyes of many people, the queen's decree may be overturned by the emperor's decree at any time.

In the Taoist temple, Jia Xichun finally came to see Jia Jing, and brought something to the doctor who accompanied Jia Jing to study the pills.Food was brought to these people, and something they could give to their wives and daughters.

Jia Xichun wondered if there were these people accompanying Jia Jing to study the pills. He probably didn't know when Jia Jing would be poisoned to death by herbs.

In the original book, Jia Jing took too much elixir and was poisoned to death by erysipelas.Now that I haven't taken the elixir, if I obediently follow the doctor to study those herbs, it is impossible to take the elixir again.

"I bought some medical books from Jiangnan, and I brought them here for you." Jia Xichun thought that if he gave his father something, it would be better not to give anything else, but to give her medicine and medical books, so that the other party might like it more.

"That's right." Jia Jing nodded, that is, he should buy more medical books, which are more useful, "It's not a waste of money."

"..." Jia Xichun thought that what she spent was not Jia Jing's money, but it was her biological father in this life, as long as the biological father is happy.

"Where are the herbs?" Jia Jing asked.

"It's all put away." Jia Xichun replied, is the father really not going to care about whether his daughter is not acclimatized?

It's really impossible for Jia Jing to worry about this. He looked at his daughter alive and kicking, and his face is very good, so there is no problem, and there is no need to worry about her daughter.

"Okay." Jia Jing nodded, and then, Jia Jing turned and left.

Jia Xichun looked at her father's back silently, thinking that this was indeed her real father.If it wasn't his own father, he would still show face and care about the child.

No matter how Jia Xichun lamented, Jia Jing still planned to read medical books, study medicinal herbs, and his daughter, anyway, someone was taking care of her, so he didn't need to take care of her.He hasn't cared much about his daughter for so many years, and he doesn't think her life is too bad.

Since he didn't care much at the beginning, there is no need to care about his daughter now.

Jia Jing thought so, so he didn't feel so guilty in his heart. The daughter is his daughter, and the people in the house will treat her well. She is now the princess, and she is not lacking in love.

When Jia Jing went to study those medical books and medicinal herbs, Jia Xichun led the people down the mountain first.Even if she stood here for a long time, it was impossible for her to take a few more glances. She was obviously not as attractive as those medical books.

Jia Xichun lamented that these experimental madmen are like this, so it is always easy for such people to be single in modern times.But these people also have money. If they have money, they can still be together. The other party makes money and enjoys it by themselves.

As long as you don't have a love brain, don't think that your husband must be with you every day, as long as you want to, you can still live a good life.An experimental madman, as long as the wife enjoys it and doesn't cuckold her husband, basically there is no big problem.

Jia Xichun pondered, if he came to the realm of self-cultivation, would he find a cultivating madman?Forget it, cultivating a madman may end up killing his wife to prove the Tao, which is not fun.

Practitioners in the realm of self-cultivation really can do anything, don't expect them to have much conscience, conscience is fed to dogs.Maybe they have to wait until they become ancestors, for the sake of face and a little bit of conscience.To put it bluntly, it's just a show.

Of course, there are still many people who are quite good, it depends on luck, whether you can meet a good one.

Those people are used to Jia Jing's attitude, and they don't expect Jia Jing to communicate with Princess Tai'an.As long as Jia Jing is here, he is Princess Tai'an's biological father, and Princess Tai'an will send things over.Not a stepfather, this treatment is stable.

Someone once asked Jia Xichun if she had any complaints about Jia Jing, and she said there was nothing to complain about.At least she is still a descendant, not another man's child, and her status is not bad, so there is nothing strange about it.

If Jia Xichun was born to Mrs. Zhang and another man, she might have to blame Jia Jing for alchemy in the Taoist temple all day long, not Mrs. Zhang.Since there is no problem with her own background, there is nothing to say. She also knows that Jia Jing once stood in line to abolish the prince, which caused him to do a lot of things to make up for it now, so that the emperor would not blame him.

Because Concubine Zhen planned to go to the imperial temple, the emperor did not make things difficult for the Zhen family anymore, but only confiscated the property of the Zhen family. As for the dowry of the female family members of the Zhen family, he left some things for them according to the list.In this way, the Zhen family can also live without being too down and out. This is the emperor's final compromise to Concubine Zhen.

The emperor did not deprive the Zhen family of their qualifications to participate in the scientific examination, so it was considered very good to the Zhen family.

In the eyes of the Zhen family, it is good to keep their lives, and money is something outside of them.However, it will be difficult for them to earn so much money in the future. Even if they go back to Jiangnan, they will be in a different situation from before. They used to be so beautiful, but now they are so desolate. Life will be difficult.

Because the female family members of the Zhen family spent some dowry in order to manage their relationship, the remaining dowry was even less.The houses of the Zhen family simply split up, and none of them wanted to let other houses spend money from their own house. The money did not belong to the Zhen family, but a dowry brought by the woman.

The huge Zhen family had dispersed in the capital before returning to Jiangnan.

When they were about to go back to Jiangnan, they went to Rongguo Mansion to wait for someone to sit down.Things have come to an end, we can always see each other.

Mrs. Jia did not meet the Zhen family, but asked Wang Xifeng to give some money to the Zhen family. After the house was ransacked, even if they were released, they did not have much money in their hands. Give them some money to settle down so that they can continue to live .

The Zhen family brought things to the Rongguo Mansion earlier and asked the Rongguo Mansion to keep them, but Mrs. Jia did not agree.Now, she can't give these people all that the Zhen family gave to the Rongguo Mansion before, so she can only give some money.Don't give too much, and let the royal family misunderstand.

After Wang Xifeng gave the money to Zhen's family, she went to Rongqing Hall to meet Mrs. Jia.

"They've already left." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

"Let's go." Mrs. Jia sighed, "Did you talk about the previous thing?"

"No." Wang Xifeng shook his head.

"They have a concubine in their family, but we don't have one." Mrs. Jia said, "Remember."

Even if it happens again, Mrs. Jia will do that again, it is impossible to hide things for the Zhen family.Even though the Zhen family was released, it doesn't mean that the emperor didn't care about other people who were still involved, and now only the Zhen family has been released.

Before the Zhen family left, Zhen Baoyu went to see Jia Baoyu.Zhen Baoyu met Jia Baoyu when he was very young, and that was a long time ago. He wanted to meet Jia Baoyu before returning to Jiangnan.In the future, it may be difficult for them to meet again.

Jia Baoyu and Zhen Baoyu look quite similar, but their temperaments are different. Jia Baoyu has been studying hard all these years, but he is a bit bookish, while Zhen Baoyu seems to be someone who has just awakened.

After staying in the prison for such a long time, and being escorted to Beijing, Zhen Baoyu found that the Zhen family was not that powerful, and the prosperity and wealth he had seen before were all superficial.After leaving the prison, the uncles and uncles in the family were arguing again, saying that it was because of each other that the Zhen family became like this.

And because the Zhen family doesn't have much money now, the sisters-in-law and aunts are all unhappy, and the family will soon be divided.It is said that we will go back together, but after all, it is different from before.

Zhen Baoyu was very favored in the past, but now, few people are willing to take care of him, that is, his parents still take him.Those people who were kind to him in the past have changed their attitudes now, and he realized that the reason why those people were so kind to him before was because of the presence of the old lady.

The old lady passed away some time ago, and died of illness half a month after Zhen's house was ransacked. The news was sent by a servant.

Old lady Zhen could hold back some things before, but now that she's gone, she can't hold back anymore.These people felt that the old lady was too kind to Zhen Baoyu back then, and felt that they didn't enjoy so much before, and Zhen Baoyu enjoyed it all.

This made Zhen Baoyu helpless, one by one sneered, saying that the family has become like this now, if he can go to school, he can be a little bit promising, otherwise he can go to farm.

Jia Baoyu didn't know how bitter Zhen Baoyu was. After seeing Zhen Baoyu, he tried his best to comfort him, saying that the family members had done bad things, and those juniors should make amends.Study hard, and go to some poor and backward places to help the people in the future, that can be regarded as praying for the family.

Zhen Baoyu didn't expect Jia Baoyu to say these words. He thought of the other party's mother being exiled to the northwest, and thought of his own family.If I can pass the scientific examination, I am afraid that I will not be able to become an official in a poor and backward place, but a richer place where I can climb up.

Otherwise, if you go to a poor and backward place, relying on your own strength, how can it be so easy to change the local situation, even if it can be changed, it will take many years.After so many years have passed, and I am getting older, I may not be able to climb up when the time comes, let alone revitalize the family.

"I don't have such a big ambition." Zhen Baoyu said honestly, if he went to such a poor and backward place, the salary given by the court might not be enough to live on.And Zhen's family is now extremely poor, he can't go to such a place.

He hasn't taken the scientific examination yet, and he doesn't know what will happen when the time comes. It's not something they can decide.Of course, it will be much easier to go to poor places. If you apply directly, those officials will agree.But he is not a fool, it is impossible for Zhen Baoyu to do that.

"Forget it." Seeing that the other party was not interested, Jia Baoyu didn't say much.Everyone has different ideas. Not everyone likes to go to poor and backward places, but most people still like to go to rich places.

Jia Baoyu could also understand Zhen Baoyu's thoughts, he didn't try to persuade him much, and he didn't feel that the other party was too bad.After Jia Baoyu studied hard, he understood many things. He also met many people in Guozijian. Everyone has different thinking. Some people want to inherit the family business, while others want to revitalize the family.

Those like myself are going to atone for their family members, which is different.Jia Baoyu made a clear distinction and could not impose his will on others.

Although Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu could not be said to be sympathetic to each other, they did not have any awkwardness.Because Jia Baoyu is different from the one in the original book, he won't talk about men's filthy eyebrows, and he won't say that Zhen Baoyu is bad.

After Zhen Baoyu left Jia's house, he took another look at the gate, Zhen Baoyu, Jia Baoyu, real Baoyu, fake Baoyu, it doesn't matter if they are real or not, their lives are not so satisfactory.

Jia Zheng wanted Jia Baoyu to pass the exam and become an official. He didn't want Jia Baoyu to go to a remote place, but if Jia Baoyu had to go, he couldn't.He is still under suspension. Apart from supervising his children and grandchildren's studies, he has no ability, and he can't stop Jia Baoyu.

It's not that he didn't know Jia Baoyu's thoughts, nor did he persuade Jia Baoyu not to think about saying goodbye to his son.However, he couldn't persuade him. In the end, he could only let his son study hard, and he had to pass the exam before he could talk about becoming an official.

"It's hard to be like him." Jia Zheng met Jia Baoyu after Zhen Baoyu left. Both of them were called Baoyu. I'm afraid I can't do anything, so I can only read more books, maybe there is still a little hope.

"Father." Jia Baoyu frowned, "If he wants to, it's still too late."

"You, it's time for reference." Jia Zheng thought that for Jia Baoyu, he still had to go to the examination for fame first, even if he had to take the examination of Juren first, it would be easier to find an official in the future.

As for whether his son can be admitted to the No. [-] Scholar, Jia Zheng doesn't expect it. His son is really not that smart, but he should still be able to be admitted to the Jinshi.But my son is going to be an official in the northwest, and he can get any kind of fame. No one will compete with his son to go to such a desolate place in the northwest.

"Think about the Northwest matter." Jia Zheng still hoped that Jia Baoyu would change his mind.

"My son has already made up his mind." Jia Baoyu said, "I also met my uncle a few days ago, and my uncle said that the conditions in the northwest are a bit difficult, but my son is suitable there."

Lin Hai still admired Jia Baoyu, closed the door of the study, and said some things to Jia Baoyu, for example, he was born with a jade in his mouth, and there was a lot of noise. He was once said that he would overthrow the court sooner or later and become the new emperor. Spread these rumours.

It would be safer for Jia Baoyu to go to the northwest. If someone came to him to tell him about treason in the future, he could use his tricks and save his life.Because the emperor will definitely send someone to watch him, it is impossible to let him go.

Lin Hai also said that today's emperor is wise, and it is absolutely impossible to be overthrown by rebels at will, and people like Jia Baoyu can't be emperor.

Jia Baoyu didn't hide from Lin Hai either, and told the story that he was a stone demon in his previous life, and said that it was said by Princess Tai'an.Hearing what Jia Baoyu said, Lin Hai patted him on the shoulder, saying that his life can be saved, and since he wants to make amends, he should go to the northwest.

This also made Jia Baoyu more determined to go to the Northwest, not to let his family suffer with him, and not to implicate his family.

"Your uncle..." Jia Zheng sighed, Lin Hai is very knowledgeable, but his son has gone to the Northwest, when will he be able to make achievements, and when will he be able to return to the capital.

"Uncle valued his son, so he said those things to him." Jia Baoyu didn't tell Jia Zheng everything Lin Hai said, but only said that Mrs. Wang had done so many bad things, and if he didn't go to the Northwest, it would be difficult for him to make further progress , This is called putting it to death and then reborn.

After hearing his son's words, Jia Zheng felt that Lin Hai was indeed a high-ranking official, who thought everything through.
